Electricity

by Balthrop, Alabama

on We Have Electricity (2012)

It's a Saturday night, but it's not the same;
Something's going wrong, yeah, something's changed:
Sky's upside down and rearranged,
And I don't know why I feel so strange.

But things will never be the same in this city;
Now we finally have electricity.
There's a sudden light out your window,
Beckoning you to come outside and play
In the brand new nighttime,
It's so much brighter than the day,
And the Sun has gone away;
And I don't know if it's ever coming back again.

But if you stand beside me,
And if you place your hand in mine;
I will lead you through the night;
And we will find out where the sun has gone to sleep.

And when Sunday morning rolls around,
There is not a body to be found;
Everyone's laid up and lying down,
And I don't know when they'll come around.

But things will never be the same in this city;
Now we finally have electricity.
There's a sudden light out your window,
Beckoning you to come outside and play
In the brand new nighttime,
It's so much brighter than the day,
And the Sun has gone away;
And I don't know if it's ever coming back again.

But if you stand beside me,
And if you place your hand in mine;
I will lead you through the night;
And we will find out where the sun has gone to sleep.

To sleep...

The sun has gone to sleep...
To sleep...
